(4,256 posts)In 1998 my 24 year old son had seizures and was rushed to the hospital and 3 days later was getting brain surgery. He was diagnosed with a GBM brain tumour, same as Ted Kennedy. His dad was diagnosed two months later with Non Hodgkin's lymphoma. Our son lived for 18 months and his dad followed him 18 months after.
I think I would have been much worse in frame of mind if we had to worry about medical bills. In Canada we don't worry about those things.
I am so grateful for living here. Reading all the threads on DU make me thankful.
There are times when doctors are wrong so don't give up. One of my best friends was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2002...not the same as my son's. She is still living.
The Republicans are ignorant and they are full of fear. So much that they spout hate.
You have support on DU...and remember we are all in this boat together.
